See? Be warned. 
Computer to adcom amp/preamp
The GFA535L is an amp, not a preamp...the "L" stands for "level" meaning level controls on the front of the amp, and you could run directly but a preamp would be a better idea. 
Would vinyl even be invented today?
What about flannel shirts and irony?...I had no idea how useful the hipsters are.

I like my digital rig...it sounds friggin' great maybe due to the re-clocking or the DAC's power supply or amp tubes or something, but I'll say it again: LPs won't play on anything but a turntable (making digital copies of them will not be done by... 
New KT150 tubes?
The current heap of hot glass in my simple Jolida has been amazing me lately...the 150s seem to have settled in and sound so damn good I'm STOKED with them.

BASS...it's BASS. Thank you. 
New KT150 tubes?
Such a rebel! Especially when you consider that no amp has ever been reported to have blown up from 120s or 150s.

I agree with both of Mallen 123's comments. My Q150e runs at about 1/3 of the possible gain (based on the knob position) and I adjust it a little sometimes to fit whatever's playing...I stuck a "chicken head" knob on it for that express purpose.

Which Jolida (US MD or Chinese) is doing the name change? 
New KT150 tubes?
Note to self: Start selling larger tube cages and top covers to ARC amp owners with KT150s...maybe a lid bulge? 
How to protect my amp without changing the sound?
I was going to plug my amps (tube main, SS for rarely used outdoor extension speakers) directly into my groovy hospital grade wall plugs (P.S. Audio) and remembered my simple power conditioner has some spike protection (thunderstorms happen) I don... 
New KT150 tubes?
I don't own an ARC amp, but having followed this issue I feel I can finally sleep at night knowing the suspense and drama presented to the ever cautious ARC owner by the 150 dilemma is finally resolved. Whew...now I gotta buy some stock in Tung Sol. 
Uneven speaker cable lengths?
When I used uneven lengths of speaker cable some years ago (setup necessitated this, although I don't remember why) I found it did NOT affect the sound one iota (how much IS an iota anyway?)...maybe half an iota...but still...now I keep the length... 
Seems like the best "upgrade" for tube amps....
Jolida 502p, and I run it a lot. 
New Version Jolida JD502P issues.
My main benefit from NOS 12AT7 Mullards in the "phase inverting" roll in my amp is the entertainment value of the start-up flash. And they supposedly last a long time while sounding great or at least not making anything sound not great. Recent 150...
